Before May Day, the Shaanxi Billiards Association successfully hosted a major domestic event, which was the first leg of the 2021 "Shujian" Cup Shaanxi Provincial Snooker Ranking Competition hosted by the Shaanxi Provincial Sports Bureau. In the three-day event, the British famous Zhang Anda passed all the way, and in the final on April 30, with an outstanding and steady performance, he beat Liu Hongyu 5:0 and won the crown and won a prize of 20,000 yuan.

The gold content of this championship of The famous Taiwanese player Zhang Anda is not low, because this competition can be called the country's first high-level provincial snooker event this year, attracting a total of 66 players from all over the country, and as many as 39 from other provinces, including Zhang Anda, Cai Jianzhong, Mei Xiwen, Cao Yupeng, Wu Yize, Li Yan and other national champions and famous players in britain.

The reason for this is that in addition to the four sub-stations and finals of this ranking competition, with a total prize amount of up to 500,000 yuan, another important reason is that the top 16 players in each station of this sub-station will also receive snooker points of the Chinese Billiards Association this year. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that the China Taiwan Association has delegated the points rule of professional players to the provincial competition, so as to reform and better promote the in-depth promotion of billiards in various places and stimulate the enthusiasm of professional players to participate. For the Shaanxi Provincial Taiwan Association, this competition can officially become the first event of the official new point system, and it is also a reward for the Chinese Taiwan Association for successfully hosting various billiards events over the years.
It is precisely because of the gathering of experts that this game in Xi'an Sanhe Billiards (Bell Tower Store) is wonderful and exciting. The participating athletes played against each other and showed a good level of competition, including a total of 12 shots to break 100, while the champion Zhang Anda alone scored 5 shots, and the highest single score award was won by Zhang Jiankang with 134 points. The fierce and good-looking game naturally attracted many local billiards enthusiasts to come to watch the game, and the Shaanxi Billiards Association officially broadcast the whole event in Chinese sports, and also allowed billiards fans across the country to easily watch the live picture of the game through the Network.

What is even more gratifying is that in this competition, Shaanxi has emerged two rookies Wu Yuchen and Jin Peng, who are not afraid of strong hands and rely on good play to unexpectedly break into the top 8. In the end, Wu Yuchen achieved a good result of being tied for third and Jin Peng tied for fifth, and the outstanding performance of the two young players once again made people feel that the reserve talents of Shaanxi Taiwan have sprung up like mushrooms, and the growing strength of Shaanxi billiards has also become an important force for the continuous development of Chinese billiards.

In fact, the emergence of these two rookies in this competition is both unexpected and reasonable. In recent years, shaanxi has continuously had good seedlings in major domestic competitions, and even a blockbuster. This stems first of all from the fact that the Shaanxi Taiwan Association has attached great importance to the cultivation of reserve talents in recent years. Through hard work, they have continuously formulated corresponding new measures to create a good billiards atmosphere to retain the good seedlings of the local area and cultivate the backbone of Shaanxi billiards that has been continuously improved. Therefore, we have also slowly seen that more and more up-and-coming stars in Shaanxi have chosen to stay in Xi'an to grow up, and the gathering of local players of different ages and high levels can not only improve their ball skills through confrontation, but also inject infinite vitality into the Shaanxi taiwanese arena, which has generated the impetus to promote the continuous development of Shaanxi billiards and formed the soil for good results.
Of course, billiards, as a niche sport, to rapidly improve and develop in the local area, in addition to retaining talents, it is also inseparable from the growing strength and strong support of the local billiards economy. In recent years, Xi'an's economy has developed rapidly, and more and more large-scale and tall stadiums have been opened in Xi'an, and the billiards atmosphere has become more and more intense, which has continuously narrowed the gap with Guangdong. It not only attracts many professional golfers and amateurs to play in the stadium to practice, but also makes many sponsors willing to fund billiards as a carrier to sponsor games and related activities. Xi'an Taixiu Industrial Co., Ltd. in order to the vigorous development of Shaanxi billiards, in recent years, has exclusively sponsored major events held in Shaanxi, this competition has also been sponsored again, and their strong support has also promoted Shaanxi billiards to be higher and stronger.
For the current thriving development trend of Shaanxi billiards, a senior fan in Xi'an joked, "Snooker domestic matches, yesterday to see Guangdong, today to see Shaanxi, Shaanxi Province snooker players cheered well, and strive to create a pattern of north Shaanxi, south Guangdong snooker city business card in the future." ”
For the future of Shaanxi billiards, Qian Minghui, vice chairman of the Shaanxi Billiards Association and chief referee of this competition, is full of confidence, he said, "Shaanxi will take the series of ranking competitions as an opportunity to dig deep into the potential of billiards, build Xi'an into a billiards city, and help Shaanxi develop into a national billiards sports highland." ”

Finally, he talked about a month later, Shaanxi will have another national large-scale event. That is, the national snooker team competition to be held in Xi'an on June 5, he believes that with the strong support of the Shaanxi Sports Industry Group and the performance of the best players in all provinces across the country, this competition will be more exciting and fierce, and he also hopes that Shaanxi fans will cheer for the host.
